UA
A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface
The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.
Nikhil Gohil - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility
I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now. There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved. I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is a highly mature product. Because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
"It's a very low-code platform, and it's simple. The user experience is also really good."
"ServiceNow provides quite good insights about what is happening in the organization."
"Good stable and scalable solution."
"It's great for keeping everyone informed in the company - not just IT. Everyone becomes aware of change requests and incidents so the entire company is on the same page."
"The most valuable feature is that this is a Cloud solution."
"You can put information in or export it out quickly, which is very useful when you have weekly or monthly reports."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from ServiceNow is the ability to assign sub-tasks to different teams, including problem tickets and the regular and chain tasks."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
"It should include information on navigating various user interfaces for creating diverse requests directed to different teams."
"The customization that we are doing for the needs of our organization are difficult to do and could be improved."
"For healthcare, which is a pretty audited environment, there are no concrete solutions for digital signatures, apart from our license with Adobe, so it requires orchestration."
"I would like to see Advanced Intelligent Automation."
"It's missing monitoring capabilities."
"ServiceNow claims to help a lot, but once you sell the product, it's as if you're on your own."
"Their user interface is old-fashioned and outdated, and it can be more friendly for the eye. They can improve the user experience."
"The visuals are the one area where there is opportunity for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."
"The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."

"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
"The price of this solution is expensive."
